    Looks like there are only a couple of us left posting!  No news from me.  QOTW:  I went to Zhijuatenajo, Mexico and it was horrible!  No particular story, but I especially hated all of the homeless, starving dogs.  I carried Ziplocs full of dog chow and bottled water for the poor things.  I don't ever plan on going back!

    TTC #1 since May 2010

    OE IVF #1  9/2/13 Cancelled- poor response

    DE IVF #1 3/12/14- BFP 3/17/14- ectopic, right tube removed 4/11/14 @ 7 weeks

    DE FET #1 7/3/14-Transferred 2 5AA 6 day embryos Beta 7/13/14 BFN

    DE FET #2 9/5/14-Transferred 2 4BB 5 day embryos Beta 9/15/14 BFN

    DE FET #3 in December- Cancelled, didn't respond to meds

    DE FET #3 (2nd try) 2/13/15- Transferred 1 4BB and 1 4BA 5 day embryos Beta 2/23/15  BFN again (CP)

    DE FET #4 - last 2 frosties....5/22/15- Transferred 1 4BA embryo...only one frostie thawed properly.  Beta scheduled for 6/1-  BFN (beta 2, 2.81, 6, 23, 49.4) 6/15/15 Discovered ectopic in left tube.  Methotrexate given. Moving on to a new donor. Hoping to transfer by the end of the year.

    Cant find a donor that is healthy and available.  Looking at being happy with just the two of us.

    Hello everyone! Sorry I've been away for awhile. We had a check up appointment last week and our mw was reviewing the measurements from our 20w a/s (we're 25w+1d today). She was concerned because his head circumference was measuring in the 8th percentile. So she scheduled another ultrasound at 28 weeks. I'm a little worried, but she was reasuring that it was just out of an abundance of caution. Looking forward to taking anouther sneak peek at him though! :)

    Worst vacation story (National lampoon vacation style)?  Went on a cruise to Mexican Riviera... ship got caught in a hurricane... what... a... nightmare!

    Doesn't seem like many post, I know I am not great about it, and probably will stop now because my u/s on Friday showed nothing there, so officially not pregnant. Again. This is more than likely the end of my TTC road, as we have had now 6 failures with DE and DS and even with the addition of Lovenox and lots of testing can't figure out why I can't carry a baby past 7 weeks. DH wants to look into adoption, I don't know what I want to do. I want to just quit really. This has been a part of my life since 2010 and I feel like it's become my identity and I don't know what to do with myself if I'm not TTC. Does that make sense?

    QOTW: I've really never had a disastrous vacation. I've had some blah ones but nothing like a hurricane or horrible destination!

    Update on me:  I'm on Lupron, delestrogen and baby aspirin. I had my E2 checked today and my egg donor's baseline and stims started today as well. Shit is gett'n real!!

    QOTW: I've never had a National lampoon style vacation, but when I was a teen, my parents left me at home while they went camping/boating with the family.  Well they left, I had a party.  And this girl had a boy in her bedroom.  Well guess whose parents came home in the middle of the night because they got a flat on the boat trailer and wanted to replace it before the morning?  This girl!!   Luckily we had a great dog who barked whenever anyone came home.  I had the boy hide under my bed until they left with the spare tire.

     @ceemonkey I am sorry, def. can relate.  take some time to have fun, love yourself and your spouse.  no need to rush or make any decisions this month.  I can't tell you how much therapy/counseling helped me over these years. Yoga, prayer , whatever your into, use it!

    eeee! @mm29 so REAL.


    as for me, everything is normal and moving along.

    New so not sure how this works yet.......

    Congrats on the pregnancy, I'm sorry for those that haven't had success, super exciting for those just starting!!

    I am waiting for AF to start ~4/22.  This will be our first cycle (and hopefully LAST :)) to use donor eggs (i'm 43) w/husband's sperm!  Donor eggs ship to my clinic 4/14, once AF comes, baseline sono same day or after......continue to grow lining and praying for super successful thaw + ICSI and hoping/praying for several 5 day blasts to choose from and xfer in early May!!!  SUPER nervous about all the unknowns...how many will make it through the thaw, how many will fertilize, how many should we put in IF we get good thaw/fert results (I don't desire to have multiples if at all possible)...and the big one....should we do PGS testing (we are leaning towards 'no').....

One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    Hello Everyone :)
    I am new here.  I'm still getting use to the abbreviations so you may get long hand from me. My DH and I will be doing our second round of sperm donation this month, first month didn't work, getting over the first one sucked a little. We had no luck natural, on his end, so we are going for the next step up.  Keeping fingers, legs, and eyes crossed. nice to meet you all!!

    Vacation: We never took a lot of vacations?? Did a lot of camping, lost my sandals white water rafting thats about it.
